United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (5102G) EPA 542-F-96-002a February 1997 AEPA Completed North American Innovative Remediation Technology Demonstration Projects This report summarizes key information about more than 300 completed innovative remediation technology demonstration projects. The information is presented in a manner that enables project managers and other interested persons to easily identify the innovative technologies that may be appropriate for their particular site remediation needs. The projects are organized according to the media treated and the type of treatment technology. The report includes technical report numbers, as well as the address and telephone number of the technology vendor and the sponsoring agency. An electronic version of the report is available free of charge on EPA's Cleanup Information (CLU-IN) bulletin board. I BACKGROUND More than 300 government-sponsored innova- tive technology field demonstration projects have been completed in North America. Many of the demonstration projects were performed, sponsored, or funded through programs developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Armed Forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force), the Department of Energy, the California EPA, and the Canadian government. The demonstration results from these programs usually are scattered among numerous technical reports that federal site ~ project managers, consultants, educators and other professionals responsible for waste remediation and corrective action cleanup projects may find difficult to obtain. The purpose of this report therefore is to consolidate key information from innovative remediation technology demonstration projects into a single document and present that information in a matrix that enables project managers and other interested persons to easily identify innovative technologies that may be appropriate for their particular site remediation needs. The matrix, which is limited to completed demonstration projects and a small number of full- scale cleanup efforts, does not address emerging technologies or laboratory-scale projects. MATRIX OF COMPLETED DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS The matrix is organized according to the media treated: soil, sludge, and sediment projects or groundwater projects. The demonstrations are differentiated further by the following treatment technology types: (1) ex situ biological, (2) in situ biological, (3) ex situ physical or chemical, (4) in situ physical or chemical, (5) ex situ thermal, and (6) in situ thermal.

The levels of detail included in the listings vary according to the availability of information about the demonstration project. An electronic, menu-driven version of the report currently is available free of charge on EPA's CLU-IN bulletin board (http://clu-in.com).
